12. Thanks guys...
you are really sweet people. :)

Found out about one month ago my grandma has bowel cancer that spread to her liver and other organs. Was told she had a few months left, but a week ago found out she just had a little time left.
Went out to see my parents this weekend (they had just seen her) for a break and visit and found out it could be this weekend, as she took a turn for the worst.

When we found out the news, we all went to the nursing home where she was still in bed surrounded by various family members. I really didn't recognize her, she had changed so, but she is at peace.

I feel especially sorry for my dad and his sister, as well as my grandpa. It's so hard to lose a spouse and your mother. :( Hard losing anybody, hope you understand what I'm saying. :(

23. Oh, no! Now I wish I had gone through the thread
before posting, so might I take the liberty of re-posting with, honestly, the same feelings precisely?

"I wish I knew her.

Maybe, if you would, please might you tell us one of your best memories of your grandma?

Then, at least, I could know more of you and you might feel better while you write it for us.

If I'm wrong, please forgive me and simply accept my deepest, most sincere sadness upon the death of your beloved grandma."

57. I bet you are, too!
Now, let me talk you down.

1. Put the firearm away. Remove the bullets.

2. Get away from the window.

3. Come on over here and have a good cry; just let it all out.

4. When you've come to after the nap you will fall into, have some comfort food.

:pals: :yourock:

31. She was my stepgrandma....
and I know to some people (unfortunately SOME members of this side of my family) it makes some things "different". I don't know how to explain things other than "family politics" :eyes: The only "issue" I have with our family mourning. :(

I've known her for a quarter century so this is definitely grandma to me. :) My dad is her son and he, of course, is quite broken up. He was sad that he wasn't "there" when she died, but he has no need to feel guilty.
She was always nice and kind to me....that's what I remember. :)

I still miss my Grandma after all these years but the memories of the times we spent together give me joy. You will remember the little bits of wisdom she gave you and they are the precious bits of life we are fortunate to collect along the way.

38. so very sorry
My grammie died in 1990, she taught me everything I know about the Democratic party, She drove me to the McGovern headquarters to babysit before I would vote...she was in love with the judge in the Nixon impeachment hearings and she told me that she had never seen a better president in her almost 100 years than Jimmy Carter. I miss her so much. Sadly, her daughter, my mother, was and is a a devote Rush Republican. Grams would have loved DU ....Rock on Grams,...Miss you so much...DarthKitten, your Gram and Mine are probably having a great chat right now.........God love them....
